Biased acquisition of spacers by the CRISPR System of the V. cholerae
(Brac University, 2021-09)Cholera is a deadly waterborne disease that is caused by the serogroup of O1 or O139 of Vibrio cholerae. Also, there are many non-pathogenic Vibrio cholerae strains known as non-O1 and non-O139. Bacteriophages are bacteria ... -
Effects of horizontal gene transfer on bacteriophage infectivity
(Brac University, 2024-02)Bacterial infections and its treatment has been a concern for researchers and scientists for centuries. At first, the invention and treatment with antibiotics seemed like a promising and reliable solution to the problem. ... -
Genomic analysis of the correlation between CRISPR self-targeting spacers and prophage-related pathogenicity in Vibrio cholerae and Staphylococcus aureus
(Brac University, 2024-10)The interactions between bacteria and phages are intricate and dynamic, manifesting through two main life cycles: the lytic cycle, in which phages destroy their hosts via cell lysis, and the lysogenic cycle, where phage ... -
Potential role of bacteriophages in facilitating the horizontal transfer of plasmids
(BRAC University, 2024-06)Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules, are key players in bacterial ecology and evolution due to their role in horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This process allows bacteria to exchange genetic material, including antibiotic ...
